My name is Alissa and I live in the Southern U.S. I am used to small towns and a lot of intolerance. Please don't think I am like that!!! There are some understanding and caring people in the deep south I assure you. HA! I am really thankful for the creators of this site for bringing all of us together, giving us a chance to meet and purchase your beautiful work. I hope this affords you a chance at making a living doing what you love to do and not having to work just any job to put food on the table. Thank you and blessings to all!
